Borbet B value (Staggered & Refurbed)

I might have got my hands on another (finally) set of Borbet B wheels which means I can finally have the staggered set I've been longing for for a long tim!

They need to be refurbished an I'm looking at selling one staggered set once done. My question is though, what is a set of refurbished Borbet B worth in 16x7.5 (et20) & 16x9 (et15) sizes and 4x100. The refurb will be back to original, silver painted, diamond cut spoke faces and either diamond cut (original) polished lips. I'm trying to weigh up if its feasible for me to get them refurbed or if I should hold out for a staggered set. They are a rare wheel and its very hard to find any recent threads or for sale adverts to give an indication of their value or what they have been selling for.

Some pics for reference:

I've been getting a good few PM's regarding these wheels, to answer you all in one swoop, I'm not sure what kind of money I should be asking for them. We all know they are rare (and everyone wants a set seemingly), and this is what I'm trying to work out. I don't want to rip anyone of either by asking (for example) 2k, if 2k is far to much for a refurbished set. So, make me a fair offer what you think a refurbished set is worth.

There's every chance this might also not go ahead, the seller went quiet on me once I told him to send them to Ireland despite money not being a problem.

I've always loved the Borbet B's..If they weren't so rare id love to have a set to alternate between the A and the B 8)
